LasetJet 2605dn
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Can someone help please

 

I have Widows 7 (Enterprise) - 64 bit, which interfaces (via an ethernet network), to a HP Color LaserJet 2605dn Printer.  I've had no problems with the installed Driver (Vista), until recently.  Now, the margins of printouts are not consistent with that set in the software, in fact, there is no right hand margin at all and the textual print is not as desired, though ledgible.

 

I've tried the Win 7/64bit driver from the HP site, but it doesn't change or improve anything. 

 

My suspicion is that one of the Windows downloads (which happens automatically), has affected the installed driver, but whatever the case, please can someone direct me to a driver which will work.  (As mentioned, I was using a Vista driver, as I found that the Win 7 driver did not work, when I first installed the Printer.)

 

Also, a curious thing that I don't understand is; when I print a Config page, this also prints without reasonable margins.  However, since the Config page doesn't use the installed PC drivers, I would have expected at least that to be OK.

 

Many thanks...

 

Tony.
